Oriyomi was arraigned before the Kwara State family court, presided over by Magistrate Shade Lawal.
He was charged for criminal force assault and rape, contrary to Section 266 and 282 of penal code law.
The case was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) from Shao Divisional Police Headquarters and eventually referred to the Anti-Human Trafficking Women and Children Protection Unit for further investigation.

The defendant, who resides at Isale Are area of Shao, according to the Police First Information Report (FIR), was said to have raped the victim in the bush while pretending to be rendering transportation service to her.
The FIR stated that Tawakalitu asked the defendant to take her home, but he took her to a hotel on the pretext that he wanted to collect something there.
The FIR revealed that Oriyomi, again, in a bid to perpetrate his nefarious act, wasted the victim’s time by taking her to a filling station to buy fuel and later to an uncompleted building in the bush.
While driving towards the uncompleted facility, the police report disclosed that Tawakalitu tried to escape by jumping out of the bike, a development that made her sustain injuries on her left hand.
